Brushing teeth was a challenge with either of my kids when they were infants/ toddlers. And though we brushed at least twice a day, either of them ended up with a little cavity. And we don't eat much sugar, next to no candy, we drink no sodas, no formula, no junk food.
So, I started researching what can cause my little ones to develop cavities. And what might help us brush teeth naturally and without a fight. Then of course, it had to be reasonable in price.
And I found out that there are things that can no only clean your teeths, but even strengthen them and heal them - yes, not just prevent, but heal cavities!

This is what you need for your own healthy, sweet toothpaste, that is safe to swallow:
4 tbsp Calcium Bentonite clay (edible)
4 tbsp (or less) Stevia / Truvia (any baking aisle)
4 tbsp purified water
for older children optional 4 drops peppermint extract or peppermint essential oil.
Mix ingredients well, keep in airtight container.
!!Using glass or wood bowls and utensils (or even plastic) is preferred over metal as the clay is porous and will absorb any leached particles!!
